___________________________________________________

Have you ever lost a critical deal over a business meal...and how would you know if you did?

The business dining table is the single most important place your manners are displayed.

_______________________________________________________

If you'd like to fine tune your social skills, enrich your personal and professional life and turn possible fear into confidence, then this may be important information.

Heres Why:

In today's society, with all the hectic schedules, eating together as a family is often not possible. This causes a problem, as many of us have not learned the social graces of dining.

Not knowing what to do with your napkin, or understanding which fork to use, or even how to properly handle the fork, can make us feel self-conscious in certain situations.

Even in today's relaxed corporate environment, poor manners are never looked upon favorably. People do notice.....we speak about ourselves, as we demonstrate to others our professionalism.....or lack of it. This is of issue because today, a large amount of business is conducted out of the office and meetings are often held while dining. Are you and your company losing business because of less than polished behavior? The answer could be yes, and you may not realize...as the saying goes....you don't know...what you don't know......

But we do know that companies are losing money as associates, employees and corporate executives are not well versed in how to conduct business over a meal.

This course will enable you to be more confident, so whether dining with a friend, colleague, client or at the White House, you will handle yourself with confidence, style and world class. This course will also help you to help your guests feel more comfortable and help business to be conducted in a more successful manner in any dining situation.

Do You need this training?

Look at the list below to see if you may be hurting your career by not knowing the following:

When to begin eating when you are the guest of honor?

When to begin the business part of the meal?

How many glasses of wine can you have at a business meal?

What to do with your silverware when you are finished dining?

If you can drink when someone has made a toast to you?

Where do you seat the guest of honor, if you are the host?

What does it say about you in business, if you salt your food before you taste it?

What you are eating if there are 3 forks on the left of your dinner plate?

How to dine continental with international guests and why would you do so?

When to place your napkin in your lap?

What to pass if someone has asked you to pass the salt...and how does this relate to your ethics?

How to use a finger bowl when it is served with a spoon and fork on the plate with it?

If you know the answers to these questions, then you might not need my advice, but if you don't know the answers.....maybe you should read on a little further.

Why bother?

Are you an executive that is in a position where you can't promote competent individuals because they could embarrass you in social business interactions?

Or

Are you one of those individuals that may have been passed over for promotion and you don't know why. It could very likely be that you just can't cut the mustard when it comes to having the personal savvy for professional success.

Based on interviews, corporate America views a lack of table manners as a incomplete education...no matter what your degree, and as being very self absorbed.

Competition is stiff these days....a company can not afford to put a multi-million dollar contract in the hands of someone who may ruin the deal because of social blunders.

The great thing is you can increase these skills quickly and easily.....

Here's How

The Professional Table Manners on-line training kit is the only product of its kind in the world. It enables you to learn how to entertain clients and guests in the business arena with knowledge, confidence and world class.

This one-of-a-kind, on-line training is designed to be taken at your own computer. This innovative, interactive course, ensures personal privacy and saves you and your company time and money. Learn how to dine properly in both American and International Business settings....You will learn the American and Continental styles of dining.

Don't forget...internationally, dining manners are infinitely more important. One slip of the fork....and you could ruin a massive business deal.

Think I am kidding? A company (let's call it Company ABC for confidentiality purposes) I consult for was wanting to get a very large account. They sent an executive from their company to wine and dine the client.

A few days later Company ABC got a letter from the client explaining that he was not giving them his business because the Company ABC did not have the level of sophistication that the client was looking for and when the executive who was entertaining him ordered the "creme-brull" (as he called it) for dessert....the client knew it was over.
